News about Greg Rommel

OK, that's sort of a nasty tease. I learned something today about SU's senior midfielder, but the news is embargoed until tomorrow's newspaper. Sorry. I will say Syracuse fans will be thrilled once they hear it.

Rommel did put to rest any speculation that he would attend Johns Hopkins next season. The bioengineering major says lots of people have asked whether he'll play for the Blue Jays while he attends their medical school. We shared a nice laugh over that one.

"I'm not going to Hopkins," he said.

In other medical news, Thomas Theodorakis is out for the season with a torn ACL. Theodorakis is a reserve defender. On the plus side, Dan Didio and Ed Warszycki are back at practice after nursing various injuries. Didio, the Skaneateles native, is a midfielder who is also working out with the faceoff guys.
Warszycki is a big (6-4, 225) defender who filled in for Kyle Guadagnolo when Guadagnolo was down with mononucleosis at the end of last season.
